- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, September 10, 1891 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Orwell - Sudden Death of a Young Lady - Editor Democrat: - I was hurriedly called last Thursday morning to see Miss Nellie Stowell, daughter of Elbert and Mary Stowell, living 3 1/2 miles from Orwell village. I arrived there in a short time and found her dead, and a great excitement prevailing among the neighbors, who were there in large numbers. No one knew the cause of death. She had been visiting the previous day at one of the neighbors and had complained of some pain and when she returned home, or soon after, went to bed. About 9 o'clock she breathed unnaturally, and her mother awoke her. This was repeated several times. Soon she could not awake her, and called her husband and he thought she was dying and sent for me. I made an investigation on Saturday morning and was assisted by Dr. Cook, of Sandy Creek in making a postmortem. We found death caused by a rupture of an aneurysm in the right upper portion of the chest which caused her to bleed to death. Nellie was 18 years old and was highly respected by a large circle of friends, and too much could not be said to her praise. The father and mother and remaining sister have the sympathy of all their acquaintances. Dr. G. W. Nelson.
Newspaper Article - Thursday, September 24, 1891 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Vorea - We have been called upon to part with another of our loved ones and have only one child left the comfort us. One of the best daughters that parents ever were blessed with has been taken from us and we are doubly bereaved. She was too fair a flower for this rude world and if ever there was a pure angel she will be one. No one can ever know how we miss her and our sweet little baby boy who died seven years ago next December. He was just 3 years and 4 months old and Nellie was 17 years, 8 months and 2 days old. Were it not for the hope of meeting them in Heaven we could never endure our sorrow. We wish to thank our friends for their kindness in our time of trouble and assure them that they will not be forgotten. May we meet them all in Heaven is our sincere wish. Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Stowell and Nettie.
